DebianAMD64 virtualbox-ose-modules installation-Linux Release Technology-Debian information, the following is a detailed description. The kernel module in amd64 has been fixed before. Now I have to update the kernel again and remember it again. So I decided to write it down. I forgot to check it later. By the way, other friends can also refer to it.
The source of Debian amd64 provides the virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-ose-guest-utils Binary packages, but does not provide virtualbox-ose-modules, that is, the VirtualBox OSE kernel module. VirtualBox cannot run without the kernel module. Although Debian does not provide kernel modules for the amd64 version, we can compile it by ourselves.
We can use virtualbox-ose-source to compile the kernel module. View/usr/share/doc/virtualbox-ose-source/README. Debian, which says:
The Debian virtualbox-ose-source package can be used in several ways,
-Using module-assistant (1) commands provided by the module-assistant Debian
Package:
-Using the make-kpkg (1) command provided by the kernel-package Debian
Package. See the "modules_image" section of the make-kpkg (1) man page.
-Unpacking/usr/src/virtualbox-* .tar.bz2 and installing the module on your own.
The above string of E indicates that virtualbox-ose-source has three usage methods. We use the first method to compile the kernel module, because this method is the simplest. The method is the two commands above. It's okay to list them separately:
Of course, you must first install virtualbox-ose. After these two commands, the corresponding version of the kernel module deb package will be generated in the kernel source code directory, named virtualbox-ose-modules-kernel version _ amd64.deb. It should be the kernel source code directory, because I use a self-compiled kernel. The deb package I generated is under the directory I used to store the kernel source code. If you use the kernel in the source, I don't know where the deb package is. But it doesn't matter. After compilation, it will be installed directly, so you don't need to know the specific location of the deb package.
To use VirtualBox OSE, first load the kernel module: # modprobe vboxdrv, and then use it.
